Cressi Elastic Rubber Belt

Rubber belts are elastic, which allows the belt to contract as your wetsuit compresses at depth. This prevents the belt from sliding around your hips or rising up your torso during a descent, ensuring your weights stay exactly where you positioned them.

No, this is a standalone belt. You will need to purchase standard diving weights separately to slide onto the rubber webbing.

While it is primarily designed for freediving and spearfishing due to its high-stretch properties, it can be used for scuba. However, keep in mind that rubber belts are generally shorter than nylon scuba belts, so ensure the length is sufficient for your specific setup and exposure suit thickness.

Although the buckle is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, you should always rinse the entire belt thoroughly with fresh water after every dive. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve the elasticity of the rubber.
